News: Parker (elbow) threw 40 pitches in a side session Tuesday, and incorporated his curveball for the first time since Tommy John surgery, reports Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle.

Impact: Rehabbing from his second Tommy John surgery, Parker is now up to 95 percent effort on his fastball and all accounts have been that he has looked very good so far. Parker is expected to return to the A's in June, although it is still undecided whether that will be in the rotation or if the A's may ease him back with a stint in the bullpen.

News: Parker (elbow) is projected to return to the A's in June, Jane Lee of MLB.com reports.

Impact: Parker's 2014 Tommy John surgery was the second of his career and manager Bob Melvin noted Sunday that the team would be particularly careful with Parker as a result. It is unclear what role Parker will have once he does return, but with the A's likely to take a large amount of caution with him, it is difficult to see him providing much fantasy value in 2015.

News: Parker has lost his arbitration case with the Athletics and will receive a one-year, $850,000 deal, Jon Heyman of CBS Sports reports.

Impact: The combination of Parker's 2014 season lost to Tommy John surgery and a mediocre 2013 season likely cost him his case, in which he filed for a $1.7 million salary. This was his first go-around in arbitration, and he'll definitely earn more next year after he's able to pitch this season.

News: Oakland's Parker has lost his salary arbitration case after missing the entire 2014 season.

Impact: Parker was given an $850,000 salary on Saturday by Elizabeth Neumeier, Robert Herzog and Mark Irvings instead of the team's offer of $1.7 million. The sides argued their positions a day earlier. A 26-year-old right-hander, Parker was sidelined after getting hurt during spring training and having elbow ligament-replacement surgery for the second time.
